Dear Venomland Members and Friends, Venomland is a little more than 6 years old now and by far the biggest Hot Snake community on the Planet! We want to thank all of you who made Venomland the leading Board. We are also very thankful to our Moderators and Admins for years of hard work. Now, it is time to move on. I have been thinking how to proceed and what to do with our beloved board as we reach a size, that we need to make drastic changes to secure the future of our community. As of now, Venomland is hosted by a free (well mostly free) hosting service. That was good for the first years but now we need to find a new way to run our forum. I have spend hundreds of Dollars over the years to keep Venomland up and running, and i have done so with pleasure. Now, we need your help! We need to come up with several thousand dollars for our Venomland 2.0 project, which i frankly cant pay for any longer by myself. So Venomland is asking his Friends and Members for the first time for their financial Support. Please help to keep Venomland alive, and let us move on to a new, better Portal in the Future! Every Dollar is helping us a great deal. I know, its hard times for everyone, but please spare a few Dollar for our community. If you have only 10 Dollars to spare, we are grateful, if it is more, it would be awesome. We are planning to develop a very new Venomland, with real community functions, a forum like you are already loving it and a real (online) Hot Snake Magazin. Also, there will be download areas for scientific papers, Wallpapers and more. Again folks, we can only do that if you all help. Please send me a Private Message if you want to keep Venomland alive, i will provide you with the details on how to donate Money. For now, we can accept money from creditcards via skrill (please google it, its a free service - account-details will be forwarded to you) and paypal. All the best, and for a (hopefully) nice future of our Board. Mario

Greetings,

Where I live, there are plenty of these common adders, so I thought I should share some pics from some of my field trips.

hello Richard.

I hardly go out and Herp in Holland as we do not have native Elapids but when I go out I go mostly to the spot in the map placed below. Its a protected and private owned area and they have a nice population of Vipera berus

Vipera berus field herping Vipera%20berus%20Nijeberkoop

These are some of the animals I have seen their on the spots I pointed out. A nice red adder as well is there for years now and still is absolutly gorgous.

Vipera berus field herping Berus3

In the same area can be allot of Natrix natrix found non venomous but still a funny snake to catch especiall when they play dead.

That population is very vulnerable Richard.
I know that place for quite some years and the population is under high presure. It's getting more difficult to spot an adder year after year.
I'm affraid all vipers over there will be gone in one or two decades. The genepool is simply too small to keep populations healthy.
Also the 'livingspace' is getting smaller by tree-growth.

BUT luckily they started nature-development and I've seen many Natrix natrix, which are doing great. I hope this project will safe the adders. At the other side of the road is a more healthy population. So if those areas will be connected within a few years, then there might be a possibility the genepool will be big enough to safe the adders over there.

Maybee it is better not to show that map on the internet with streetnames on it Wink

Cheers,
Harold

The melanistic form is actually very common here, and I have seen some red ones, altough very rare.

Very cool Jan-Alfred,

I just was reading a article about some melanistic Vipera berus in Holland, so I should go out and find some for the photo.

cheers
